Meet management will forward Swim Ontario a list of coaches who they have found to be in non-compliance.

SEEDING:Seeding will be in order of times entered, as converted pursuant to the conversion process per meet package, followed by swimmers entered with NT (no times)

TIME SPLITS:The procedure for obtaining an 'Official Split' now requires that coaches make the request to the session referee or meet management on the “Official Split Request” form prior to the race. The split for the lead-off leg in relays will still be regarded as an official split and therefore no request by coaches is needed for relays. However, in the new 'mixed gender' relays, lead-off times/splits are not considered “official splits' as per international practice.

Meet management requires that any coach wishing to rely on a time achieved by the swimmer for an interval shorter than the total distance of the event shall so advise the Referee prior to the commencement of the session (or event) in question.
